eskatonia Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I've just ordered a mac book pro. I'm going to use it 95 percent of the time plus in Mac OS X. The only things I will use windows for is occasionally to run Resolume (Vj program, www.resolume.com) or Sony Vegas. Is it feasible to leave it one partition? will there soon be a solution to boot windows / mac os x off one partition? this would be my first preference. If not what should I do out of the box to prepare it for a dual install? Probably won't install xp until graphics hardware is fully supported but may as well get it ready to go. I have looked through the wiki but the advice is very limited on suggested partitioning schemes. I also don't see any where information on drivers for the FW400 port or if thats now working? Can you mount HFS+ external fire wire disks under XP using MacDrive? can you capture video to xp from a DV camera using Vegas or Premiere Pro? thanks for any info Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12895-partitioning-advice-for-5-percent-windows/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr. pink Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 i don't it'll ever be possible to have windows on the same partition as OSX Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12895-partitioning-advice-for-5-percent-windows/#findComment-81842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskatonia Posted March 23, 2006 Author Share Posted March 23, 2006 ok thinking about it your right, and it's safer to keep windows sandboxed where it can't f*** up the os x partition (which will be my primary work partition)... so right way to do it is to split it into os x and xp with guid partition table, whats the minimum I can realistically install xp + 1 or 2 apps in? maybe a 80GB OS X 20GB windows split?
